Albert Camus
“There is not love of life without despair about life.”
Albert Camus, Lyrical and Critical Essays

Caitlin Doughty
“Accepting death doesn't mean you won't be devastated when someone you love dies. It means you will be able to focus on your grief, unburdened by bigger existential questions like, "Why do people die?" and "Why is this happening to me?" Death isn't happening to you. Death is happening to us all.”
Caitlin Doughty, Smoke Gets in Your Eyes: And Other Lessons from the Crematory

Mitch Albom
“The story of my recent life.' I like that phrase. It makes more sense than 'the story of my life', because we get so many lives between birth and death. A life to be a child. A life to come of age. A life to wander, to settle, to fall in love, to parent, to test our promise, to realize our mortality- and in some lucky cases, to do something after that realization.”
Mitch Albom, Have a Little Faith: a True Story

Paulo Freire
“Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral. ”
Paulo Freire

Ethan Watters
“Because we cannot see the roads we have not taken, we become, by defaults, advocates for the path our life is on.”
Ethan Watters, Urban Tribes: Are Friends the New Family?
